Well it certainlyis nice to have to choose between this type of quality.
Your name looks familiar and I might have been the one who suggested the VMPS to you.
To be fair, I am an audio consutlant, in Los Angeles and carry over 20 brands of speakers. I do not carry the Joseph Audio (although I really like them) nor the Tylers.
I have heard both and suggest that you could not "go wrong" with either.
But...
I make suggestions to my clients based on the speakers i would buy for myself, if I were in their room/electronics/situation.
I also just purchased for "my" system the 626R FST. This designation means that it has the new tweeter which is a marvel in the reproduction of treble.
To have this degree of detail and resolving power without any harshness is quite an accomplishment.
I have heard the three speakers in question and would not hesitate to suggest the VMPS626R.
As far as a metallic sound? There is none unless it is a metallic instrument.
Obviously audition is the best method of selecting a speaker, but I would seriously suggest that it would be hard to beat the 626R FST for under $8000, in the area of soundstage, imaging, balance, detail, dynamics and resolution.
Just my biased opinion. If your in Los Angeles, let me know you can hear mine.
